Makeup steps overview

After washing your face, apply skin care products such as ointment, cream, lotion, honey, etc., focusing on skin care.

When applying foundation, you should apply it according to the person's face shape. When applying foundation on a square face, avoid applying it on the sides of the jawbone to maintain the oval shape of the face.

When applying foundation, do not apply it on the eyebrows or eyelids, because dark eyebrows will appear "white" after applying foundation, which is unsightly and unnatural.

When applying perfume. After applying foundation, use powder to set the makeup. Do not apply the powder too thickly. It is not suitable for people with dark skin.

Apply eye shadow and eyeliner.

When drawing eyeliner, use an eyeliner pencil to draw close to the eyelashes. The upper eyeliner can be heavier, but the lower eyeliner should not be drawn too thick or heavy.

Step 2:

Foundation: If you have good skin, you can just apply common moisturizing lotion and no foundation is needed.

The main function of foundation is to even out facial skin tone, so you should choose a color that is close to your skin tone and pay attention to the connection between the face and the neck. Another method is to choose a foundation with the same color as the neck, so that you will not have a mask face.

Girls can just use liquid foundation when putting on makeup. You can choose oil-containing or oil-free according to the condition of your face. Try not to use cream foundation, as it will make the makeup look heavy if not applied properly. Some girls have acne on their faces and think that they can be covered up by applying a thicker cream foundation. If the acne marks are very flat, a liquid foundation with stronger covering power can cover them up. If the acne marks are prominent or uneven, the thicker the foundation, the more obvious they will be (trim your eyebrows before applying foundation).

As time goes by, most girls use BB cream, which has a very good concealing effect. BB cream works very well and has almost replaced liquid foundation, but some people still choose to use liquid foundation.

1. How to buy foundation: Foundation is divided into liquid foundation and pressed powder, you can choose either one. When buying, ask the saleslady to help you decide which one. Generally, choose two or three foundation colors that are close to your skin tone and try applying them on your cheeks to determine the color that is closest to your skin tone.

2. How to apply foundation: If it is liquid foundation, use your fingers to take a small amount and apply it on the forehead, nose bridge, cheeks, chin, etc., then gently spread it evenly. If it is a pressed powder, it is the easiest. Just apply it evenly with a powder puff.

Step 3:

Drawing eyebrows: The color of the eyebrow pencil should be closest to the color of your own eyebrows. For Oriental people, it is usually coffee, brown or gray.

When applying makeup, try to apply it as lightly as possible, from the brow to the end. It is best to apply the brows one stroke at a time, from bottom to top, from inside to outside. The end of the brow should be applied in one stroke to avoid modification. The most important thing in drawing eyebrows is experience, and it will become more natural if you are skilled.

Because it is daily makeup, an eyebrow brush is usually used to modify the eyebrows. Use an eyebrow powder that is one shade lighter than your eyebrow color, and use an eyebrow brush to brush it from the beginning to the end of the eyebrow. Just draw lightly according to the original eyebrow shape, and there is no need to deliberately modify it. The color of the eyebrows can be coordinated with the hair color. (If you don’t have eyebrow powder, you can use eye shadow powder instead, but don’t use pearlescent ones, use matte ones)

Tips: Girls with sparse eyebrows can use mascara to achieve a full and natural effect, but remember not to use too much mascara. When brushing, just put a little mascara on the eyelashes and brush lightly along the direction of eyelash growth. Remember to choose the right color. People with fair skin can choose brown mascara.

Step 4:

Eye shadow: The most common and simplest method: use the same color in different shades, gradually apply from the bottom to the top of the eyelid, from dark to light, to create the effect of deep eyes. The eyes will appear to be at least 1/3 larger, and will appear lively and bright.

Eye makeup emphasizes eye shadow and eyeliner. Use a brush to sweep the eye shadow powder so that different colors of eye shadow powder can be applied more evenly. Then, apply a darker eyeshadow on the inside of the eyeliner to bring out the line of the nose, which is a common technique for us Oriental face shapes. Use a black eyeliner to draw, using the method of applying 2/3 of the upper eyeliner and 1/3 of the lower eyeliner, then use a cotton swab or a small eyeshadow brush to gently blend it out for a more natural look. If you have thick eyelashes, you can skip the eyeliner and just apply some eyeliner at the end of the eye.

Step 5:

Eyelashes: Curl your eyelashes with an eyelash curler before brushing them. Eyelashes should be curled 3 times (be careful not to pinch your eyelids when curling): the first time is to curl the roots; the second time is to curl the middle and gently bend it upwards; the third time is to curl the ends.

Clear eyes need long eyelashes to complement them. If you want to make your eyes look more charming, you must apply mascara. Prepare two eyelash curlers of different sizes. First use a large eyelash curler to curl the entire eyelashes, and then use a small eyelash curler to curl the eyelashes that are difficult to reach at the corners of the eyes.

First, use a white paste brush to apply in a Z shape to create a dense effect on each eyelash, and then brush the head of the eyelashes to lengthen them. Wait for the white paste to dry for a while, then use the black paste to apply in a Z shape from top to bottom.

Tips: When curling your eyelashes, you can first use a hair dryer to heat the eyelash curler before curling your eyelashes. This will make them curlier and last longer. Another method is to use a lighter to heat the wooden stick part of a wooden cotton swab, then hold it upward under the eyelashes and let it stay for a while. This will have an effect similar to that of curling your eyelashes.
